Just watched his Majikat concert (from his last tour as Cat Stevens in1976) on Sky Arts and it reminded me what a great songwriter he was/is. The preamble mentions that at the time of the concert "nearly 1,000 people are connected to a thing called 'The Internet' ".

Time and the world moves on but great music never changes.

    Made himself pretty unpopular in the music industry many years ago......wont go into the rights and wrongs of it and I can see both sides.......but tend to come down on the side of those who felt badly let down by him.
    Having said that, Tea for The Tillerman is one of my all time favourite albums.

    I thought it had something to do with him being a Chelsea goalkeeper?

    My recollection is that a girl said his eyes looked like those of a cat (although which sort of cat was never made clear.)

    Saw him live at the Albert Hall a couple of years ago....and he most certainly still has it. Best concert I've ever been to.

    Anyone who likes Cat Stevens should take a look at the 1970 film 'Harold and Maude'.
